Hey there! This is just one of many top career opportunities ECM can suggest — if this job isn't right for you, let us do the hard work! Tell us what you're looking for and we'll start searching for you. We promise to treat your CV as strictly confidential.

This is a very rare opportunity to join a renowned and highly respected company working on leading edge research encompassing Deep / Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, Planning Systems, Robotics and 3D Mapping.

You will earn an outstanding salary - but also acquire start-up stock options in a future global leader!

Only the best need apply: These exciting roles call for exceptionally bright researchers who are self-starting high-achievers – with very strong mathematics skills and proven coding fluency (for example C / C++, Python, Scala, MATLAB, Java). You should of course also have an outstanding academic background (PhD / Masters from a top University & publications in top scientific journals) plus proven postgrad / industrial research experience, along with the drive and ambition to rapidly advance your career.

Develop and improve ways of establishing beliefs in the goals and behaviours of actors in road scenes and develop and curate learnt behavioural model libraries

Research and identify suitable methods of building memory into these models, for example using LSTMs and RNNs

Research novel means of natively modelling interactive and dynamic motions using those beliefs, dynamic costmaps and kinematic models of each actor, such as dynamic programming-based solvers

Explore and implement game theoretic approaches alongside reinforcement learning to predict interactive actor behaviour in road scenes and their likelihoods

Find ways of using deep perception outputs to improve those predictions (gestures, pose, gaze, wheel movements etc) and identify means of feeding those requirements back to the perception layers of the run-time vehicle stack

Generate novel research techniques for solving multiple challenges in the field of computer vision as applied to autonomous vehicles and work to get outputs published in the world’s top scientific journals and conferences

As the team grows, you will find yourself quickly surrounded by subject matter experts in one of the most exciting technology domains and will rapidly gain knowledge and experience.

Please note: even if you don’t have exactly the background indicated, do contact us now if this type of job is of interest – we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to. And of course, we always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.
